November 2014

We are now heading into our third Leadership Development Retreat, November 7 (see
agenda attached). Our two previous retreats have focused largely on the ideology,
methodology, and philosophy behind developing a culture of engagement and evidence-based
leadership. We've also modeled goal setting, planning, implementation of strategic
initiatives, and individual leadership development.

The November retreat will continue focus on individual leadership development and
implementation by equipping leaders with specific, usable tools in the areas of goal
setting, strategic planning, assessment and continuous improvement. We'll also follow
up on the RPG discussions from the August meeting and provide updates from the cross-mentoring
groups. Finally, we will take most of the second half of the day to tackle difficult
dialogues and conversations as leaders. We think this will be our most workshop, hands-on
retreat yet and I look forward to seeing you there!
